Mahindra Max 28 electrical

[drajj5]

I think that the harness was ordered via - 3rd party vendor. Most parts are made at different locations, even different countries. I am sure that the harness that was used on my Mahindra was made along side harnesses for other manufactures, some company that deals only in wire harnesses. It is natural for mistakes to be made, it is frustrating- but something we all have dealt with.

I am guessing you had a long wait for a dealer repair? I have never had to go the dealer for a repair- I am guessing I will never go because these are pretty easy to work on. Now if I bought a new car, that would be different. I have no clue how to work on those..... ABS/computer management/air bags, Yuck! I'll take manual roll windows, and an engine that I can 'see' without plastic on it any day.

I didn't look to see if my manual had a schematic in it, but am glad that I purchased the service manual. With the manual in hand I can now make every adjustment, and repair anything on my tractor. It only cost me 70 bucks and that is cheaper than most hourly fee's at any dealer.

my 28 got picked up today...back to the dealer (they have been great) was using it yesterday and it just shut off...it would restart instantly, but as soon as you let go of the key it would die again...the electric plug that goes to the fuel solenoid was full of water, but that was not the problem...i only ever washed it once, and that was awhile ago, it is garage kept, anyone ever have this issue and what was the fix... maybe i can give the dealer a " heads up" or some place to start looking.
thanks

If you would like a good schematic of your tractor I can send you one via email. The Pic is large so you can read it easily. I colored it too, so I could see the circuit(s) better. The colors are not exact but make it easier to read. I would start at the two relays and go from there. There was water found in my ETR solenoid as well. Shoot me a pm and I will email it to you

The colors I am describing are NOT correct colors. But are used for Identifying the circuit

RED- 12VDC constant
Burgundy- 12VDC from key switch when 'on'
Black- Ground
Orange- Feed to Lower 4 fuses- energized only while key switch is on "lights/glow controller/ETR"
Green- 12VDC From key switch when 'start/crank'
Blue- Power feed from timer unit
Black- Ground
Blue- Feed to Glow controller and starter motor.

Good luck

went to dealer to visit tractor and check on progress..."waiting on parts"....talked to mechanic and looking at the old fuel solenoid, it still has water seeping out of it after sitting there on the seat for almost a week now. makes me wonder where the thing has been!!!!
